What's Trump Got to Do With It?

The novel disease that's been wreaking havoc all over the globe has something to do with bats, or perhaps pangolins, it's been said. Right from the start, many of our respected leaders assured us it was nothing to worry about. These included:

In late January, Dr. (Saint) Anthony Fauci said the virus in China posed "a very, very low risk to the United States." 

On February 24, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, hoping to stem a drop in tourism after reports of the emerging virus, linked arms with throngs of celebrants at a San Francisco parade and stated on camera that it was "very safe to be in Chinatown."  

On March 1, after the first coronavirus case appeared in New York State, Governor Andrew Cuomo tweeted that there was "no cause for undue anxiety." 

On March 11, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio urged residents during a press conference to go about their "business as usual." 

Meanwhile, on January 31 (effective February 2),  President Trump outlawed travel between China and the US. So tell me again, because I'm so confused: Who's got blood on their hands?
